When inputting a multi-line text in the Sprint Goal field, it either does not show the entire text or overlaps with the top of the backlog (see screenshots attached).
Steps to reproduce.
Enter a text that spans multiple lines in the Sprint Goal field in an Agile Board.
Expected results.
The field expands and the page adjusts to show the entire text without overlapping/covering other page elements.
Actual results.
The field either shows a single line that does not fit the entire text or expands down covering the top of the backlog.

[JSWSERVER-16161] Sprint goal field does not support/handle multi-line texts
Can we get a fix on this? It's been quite some years and this shouldn't be a big deal...
37b6eef0b215, you are mistaken because you seem to have forgotten about Data Center. Atlassian is not solely transitioning to the cloud; they have instead consolidated two server versions into one.
We have wanted this for years on the cloud version of Jira.
Please prioritize this 
I agree - any issues that are still existing on the cloud should be moved instead of being re-created and appearing to be new. This ticket was created 5 years ago so it should be prioritised.
We recently transitioned to Jira cloud, and this is an issue there as well. The Jira dev team should just move this to the Jira cloud focus backlog instead of creating a new one there and gathering dust (ahem, impact) again.
Hi everyone, as you know, this is the issue ticket for the Server version. As Atlassian is transitioning to a Cloud model, and the server support will not be available starting 2024 (if I'm not wrong), I'm pretty sure there is no effort spent anymore on features or small improvements on the Server version. Aeven if they were fixing this, you still have your admin to upgrade your version installed on your server.
It's not fixed on the Cloud version, but a safe bet is to move to the cloud if you want to have this fixed.
Please fix this, during daily stand up when we walk the Jira board we should be referring to our sprint goal but we cant read it on screen. It should be the core focus of our meeting but it appears as one long line that is cut off and incomplete.
Is there a Cloud version for this bug? I'd like this functionality available there, which is what my company uses.
Please fix as this is really annoying and causes consternation with the teams working on several features concurrently.
This is really annoying to see the goals in one line, it is very cheap to fix it!!
How can it be possible to still be opened ?
It's only 1 line of CSS to change to make it works.
Sprint of 2 weeks = several objectives (I mean, sure !), I can't list my objectives as a list, but I can have a stupid smiley in my comments.
It's crazy. 
( <= this I can do !)
Yes please. Just enable the simple markup already available for issue descriptions.
Workaround:
Add this to the announcement banner:
<style type="text/css"> [data-fieldname="sprintGoal"] { white-space: pre-line; } </style>
I do agree with what was said, this seems like a pretty low key issue, but a nice addition for the teams working with those boards. #upvote
Totally Agree. With the depreciation of the Sprint Boards on the Dashboard we now need to revert back to the Boards. Having squad goals in a better format would enrich this page.
Another option would be to add them to the insights feature which has just shown up
Agree with "Joel Eiholzer", it is open for nearly 4 years? I wonder Jira team is working in misplaced priorities.
could you get this fixed ASAP.
How hard would it be to add the basic styling afforded descriptions and comments to Goals. I can see why this particular change is a low priority compared to other issues. But given the number of users following this and what would seem to me like a low level of effort it is surprising this is not just getting knocked out. Just add CK editor to the goal input and you are done.
Very annoying!!
Not sure the priority mechanism, but priority "low" given so many people complaining about this issue?
Has anyone figured out what to do about this instead of waiting for Atlassian to fix this? I don't expect to be using Jira in 10 years time to see this being addressed. Obviously they have higher priorities with more value to address on their backlog!
+1
well, this issue has only 2 years, they really tend to implement this kind of request in sprints of 5 years =D
It's really frustrated when our team want to check the sprint goal with the current UI. We have couple goals to check, from UI they're messed up
Seriously! This bug is opened for two years and no one wants to take up the monumental effort of converting a single line text box to a multi-line box? Is the impact on the customer so non-obvious that it takes two years of time to Gather impact?
I like the attitude of commenters above. Not knowing Atlassian takes about 14 years to actually implement customer requests. See you in 10 years. 😄
I would like to see this feature added as well. Seems like a simple fix, and we often have more than one goal per sprint.
Are the screenshots from Jira data centre flavor? if yes, what version of Jira data centre are you guys running? We can only type in a single line? how did you get it to accept multi line input to expose this bug? We can't get this bug to surface in V 7.13.5 of Jira data centre.

added a comment - Do you have an ETA for the fix? Why offering this new UI if its not properly supported....

added a comment - Do you have an ETA for the fix? Why offering this new UI if its not properly supported.... I need this too. I'm very surprised this was overlooked as part of the original implementation.
+1 for implementation of this change. Also to allow formatting of the sprint goals field.
